Have you ever thought about writing a book , dawn? There are many places such as lulu where you ca. Publish your book for free. It would be a good way to educate people on the history of pit bull dogs.

Using these clips from vintage newspapers would be good as well. Truth about pit bulls could be on e book and America's dog could be another.

well, thanks but i would have to rally my silent partners, first and foremost vintage who is responsible for digging up close to 90% of the news content on america's dog but also snack sized dog and rag doll. it just looks like it's all me but it's not.

You should still go forth and publish a book. There are many books on pit bulls that only tell part of the truth of their nature and history, and most of that is exxagerated.

A book based off of your vintage information would show the extremists that pit bulls were often considered vicious and beyond the dregs of society, were not that popular as pets and only pets. Most of the pit bulls I've seen in old photos that are documented show the dog was valued as a fighting dog first, and a "loyal companion" second.

The Bulldog, devoted solely to the most barbarous and infamous purposes, the real blackguard of his species, has no claim upon utility, humanity, or common sense, and the total extinction of the breed is a desirable consummation.—"BRITISH FIELD SPORTS," 1818.

Nationalism is the most copious and durable source of mass enthusiasm, and the nationalist fervor must be tapped if the drastic changes projected and initiated by revolutionary enthusiasm are to be consummated. ~ Eric Hoffer
